Whichever way feels right to you. I inhale mine pretty much the same way I used to smoke - although a little slower.

Smooth slower mouth pull, maybe let a little escape from my mouth as I inhale (so I inhale a tiny bit through the nose) into the lungs, then exhale through the nose and mouth. Occasionally I'll do a full on lung-hit... especially on the pro-tank or EVOD when I don't feel I am getting enough flavor / vapor.

I think the biggest thing for me is the exhale, always through the nose and mouth, I just seem to get more flavor doing that - sometimes the flavor is different on the exhale than the inhale too.

You don't want to read any additional comments!

Unless you haven't tried a way someone suggests. Sure, it all boils down to personal preference but how can you know what you'll prefer til ya give it a whirl? This place has been such an amazing resource in finding out what I want to try!

For me the direct lung inhale was way too harsh, and I've read that you get less nic absorption that way, which is pretty major for keeping that old gorilla off my back! :)

Best of luck to you, badst33l, as you discover all the wonders of vaping! Keep vaping weird!

When I was a smoker, I only inhaled to the back of my throat and then exhaled. Not saying some didn't get into my lungs, it probably did, but I almost never inhaled to my lungs. Just a draw -- IN/OUT. A former doctor called me a "nervous smoker" :blink:

That being said, I tend to vape pretty much the same way except that my draw on the vape-in is slower than the draw on the analog was. I usually do slow, deep-ish draws. Now and then I do short quick "puff" draws which give a different flavor to the vape.

I found that when I first started I was trying to vape like I smoked only natural and found that I was vapping way more than I smoked. I then read some post and later saw a video I think it was Zen who said to take your time and enjoy the vape. Meaning a nice easy draw into the mouth let a bit escape then inhale and exhale through the nose and mouth. I tried it and just like that I was using less juice getting more nic delivered and a more satisfying vape. You will find your rhythm and what you prefer fairly quickly. It's been a year today I quit the tobacco based units and I've discovered a lot since then but even so I'm continually learning something new about vapping. That's the fun of it I think I've learned it all then someone says what if we try this and if course I have too, and with that have added something new to my vapping knowledge. Keep reading and asking questions and congrats on getting off tobacco.

I hit into my mouth, inhale a bit, continue for a second hit into the mouth as the first escapes my nose, inhale that second hit and then exhale. Huge flavor and nicotine uptake and it "feels" like smoking. With 2.4% juice, about 10 or 11 or the forgoing sequence does the job or really is way too much (a cigarette for me was about 10 or 11 hits).

I've heard that there are a couple of ways to vape, but which is the right way? Inhaling straight into the lungs, or taking a puff into your mouth and then inhaling?

i inhale into my mouth then into my lungs
if i inhale straight into my lungs it's way too much throat hit for me
i vape like i use to inhale cigarettes
